Creating a New U.S. Chapter of the National Space Society

NSS U. S. chapters may serve a local area (“Indianapolis, IN”) or have a topical focus (“lunar bases”).
Chapters are the peripheral organs of the society, organizing events, communicating with the public,
and inspiring new generations of space activists. For a list of currently active chapters, see the Directory of NSS Chapters.

If you’re interested in forming a new chapter, the basic steps are as follows:

Following approval, your chapter must obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS.

An IRS EIN is required in order for your chapter to be included as an NSS subordinate organization.

The process to obtain an IRS EIN takes only minutes if you follow theseinstructions.

If your new chapter is an existing non-profit organization that independently files with the IRS, you may skip this step.
